Some of the aftermarket bars available for late-model batwing bikes require some creative Dremel "massaging" of the fairing.

They should fit - unlike the Road Glide where they made big differences to the fairing, the Street Glide didn't.
Here is the bagger nation website link to verify the part number before you buy - http://www.baggernation.com/item.php?iid=73
I have them on my bike and love them - one note, they had a "bad run" of bars in that the end 1" throttle piece was about 1/8'-1/4" too short (I think they were running 7" instead of 7 1/8") - so when you get them, measure them to make sure you got a good set before you start to run the wires.
Enjoy...

My 10" Yaffe's were out of spec (wider than advertised and a few other pairs of their bars I have measured). They are sitting on a shelf in my garage now because they refused to take them back. Make sure everything is right before you mount them, or they will tell you to pound sand.
